PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

As I looked in your eyes

I saw a tiny flicker

As if a small piece of your love for me

Died deep within you

A flicker so small

You barely gave it notice

But it blazed like the sun

As it seared my heart

I felt my soul shiver

As if your precious gift

Was pulled from body

A sickening wave of despair

Passes through me

As I realize your love for me

Will no longer be whole

My heart is left broken

And bleeding with regret

Unable to mend the wound

That has been inflicted.

Will time heal the damage?

Or will I have to suffer

A slow painful death

As the fire within you

Slowly dies out

Shall I continue to fan the flames

That I see still burning inside you?

Or does the fuel for my love

No longer have the capacity to sustain it?

I think I shall just close my eyes

And let fate run its course
